History O/T - Veterans Day- Remember.....

It is the Soldier

It is the Soldier,
not the reporter, who has given us freedom of press.

It is the Soldier,
not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the Soldier,
not the campus organizer, who gives us freedom to demonstrate.

It is the Soldier
who salutes the flag,
who serves beneath the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
who allows the protester to burn the flag



- please remember to thank a vet today

 

I like that, I will save that to my computer.

"Soldiers Creed"

I am an American Soldier.

I am a Warrior and member of a team. I serve the people of the United States and live the Army Values.

I will always place the mission first.

I will never accept defeat.

I will never quit.

I will never leave a fallen comrade.

I am disciplined,. physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills. I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself.

I am an expert and I am a professional.

I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy the enemies of the United States of America in close combat.

I am guardian of freedom and the American way of life.

I am an American Soldier.

 

Well said.............. CRUISER

 

Thanks for posting that Nick....

And thanks to all Veterans today, and every day.

<center>They Did Their Share</center> <center>On Veteran&#8217;s Day we honor
Soldiers who protect our nation.
For their service as our warriors,
They deserve our admiration.</center> <center>Some of them were drafted;
Some were volunteers;
For some it was just yesterday;
For some it&#8217;s been many years;</center> <center>In the jungle or the desert,
On land or on the sea,
They did whatever was assigned
To produce a victory.</center> <center>Some came back; some didn&#8217;t.
They defended us everywhere.
Some saw combat; some rode a desk;
All of them did their share.</center> <center>No matter what the duty,
For low pay and little glory,
These soldiers gave up normal lives,
For duties mundane and gory.</center> <center>Let every veteran be honored;
Don&#8217;t let politics get in the way.
Without them, freedom would have died;
What they did, we can&#8217;t repay.</center> <center>We owe so much to them,
Who kept us safe from terror,
So when we see a uniform,
Let&#8217;s say "thank you" to every wearer.</center> <center>By Joanna Fuchs</center>
